WOW!!! I have never seen such a slugfest. And the interesting thing is the
both the hero, Richard Webb and the bad guys, Lane Bradford and John
Crawford just keep taking a licking and keep on ticking. There are more
punches thrown in the 12 chapters than in a heavyweight championship match.
There are also more people being tossed around and wrestled to the ground
than in a championship wrestling match. Within minutes, after our hero has
been pummeled senseless, he is back chasing the bad guys.

I never saw any serials in the movies as I was growing up, but to me it
would be very frustrating to see about 15 to 20 minutes of film and the
last
scene of the chapter has our hero in some dire life and death situation. If
I had seen this in the movies, I would have to wait at least a week to find
out how our hero Lane Carlson (the future Captain Midnight) was able to
survive the ordeal and come back with a vengeance in the next chapter to
try
and apprehend the bad guys.

Thanks to video, I don't have to wait a week, or even an hour. It just
depends on what mood I'm in and that determines whether I can sit through
the "excitement" of the next chapter.

It was very interesting to see John Hamilton (the future Perry White of
Superman) in this movie, even though he had a bit part.

All in all, the movie is interesting enough to hold my attention for all 12
chapters. I think I'll save it for a rainy day. Bring on the popcorn
please.
